Though Masters of Endurance is on hiatus this winter, we felt it would be sad and unjust to let a year go by without putting on the annual MoE 24 Hours of Aston Grand Prix. So, good news: the race will be held on January 7th-8th, 2012!

The full rulebook will be posted soon, but here's a taste of what you can expect:

Never been in an endurance event longer than 12 hours. Really want to participate and simply finishing would be awesome.

Even making the grid would be awsome. I hope serously that all drivers would have to pre-qualify instead of only one as the race deserve featuring the best teams instead of just the team with the best hotlapper. *waving at the race administration and whistling*

This is a good idea in theory, but in practice I think it might be a mess. You'd have teams with six drivers trying to match the average pace of teams with three or four drivers—much easier to get three fast guys together than six. You'd also have the situation where some teams might have six guys on the roster but only actually use three or four in the race. Finally, getting all drivers together to participate in pre-qual might be a scheduling nightmare for some teams.

That said, perhaps requiring each team to run at least three drivers in pre-quali could work (and then take the average time of the fastest three).
